"Stand still!" Sheng Weiqiao felt ashamed and angry when she realized Li Shengxu had kissed her again in front of her maid. She shouted as she chased him, "I will punish you severely!"
"I won't stop unless you stop punishing me." Li Shengxu was delighted. He looked back at Sheng Weiqiao when he ran. Unfortunately, there was a flight of descending steps but he didn't notice that. Sheng Weiqiao alerted him to the steps, "Be careful to your step!"
Li Shengxu thought she was lying. So he didn't listen to her but made a face, "Be careful to your head!"
But as saying that, he missed his step and fell, rolling down from the top, like a ball.
Sheng Weiqiao was speechless.
Even Juli, who followed Sheng Weiqiao, also felt ridiculous.
Sheng Weiqiao worried that Li Shengxu got injured again, so she stopped blaming him for kissing her but to run down the steps. She supported him and said with concern, "Are you o
"Those from the Sheng Family are suspicious of me. If I didn't talk with them, they would guard against me as if I had been a thief!" Princess Qingfang said helplessly to her sister Princess Huihe and her cousins Zhao Taozhuang and Zhao Taoxuan.Although Zhao Sisters had been involved in the trouble Yuan Family made, Zhao Taoxuan was still unsatisfied with Yuan Liujin and Yuan Kai for the sake of Rong Shuihe. However, just like what Huan Yuan Marquis's Young Lord had expected, Princess Qingfang was still very kind to her cousins and didn't blame them for that incident.Princess Qingfang had apologized to them on behalf of her brother-in-law and her son, and she promised that she would teach them a lesson so that they would not make the mistake again.Zhao Taozhuang and Zhao Taoxuan were reasonable persons, so they didn't fixate on that. Instead, they also offered their apologies to her, which brought them together again.Aft
Zhao Taozhuang tensed herself, listening to see if her quasi-rival in love really excelled in something.Princess Qingfang did open her lips as if to say something. But then, she just smiled, "What else can the reason be?"Next, she pointed at Zhao Taozhuang and then said, "It is just the same as the reason why you and your companions paid a special visit to Princess Kangzhao. Well, Third Brother is quite indifferent to members of Gaomi King Family. But meanwhile, he is very close to members of Sheng Family. If I successfully arrange a marriage between Second Brother and a girl of Sheng Family, Third Brother may help persuade our parents into bringing Second Brother home as a favor to Sheng Family.""But it seems that Cousin Shuihe does not give equal treatment to members of Sheng Family. Among members of Sheng Family who are in Chang'an, he cares the most about Princess Kangzhao and Senior Master Sheng." Zhao Taoxuan did expect Rong Qin
Seeing that Rong Shuihe nodded to signal him to continue, Yuan Liuguang then said straightforwardly, "My late father Huai Yuan Marquis was one of the important officials of the previous dynasty thanks to the Deceased Emperor's trust.""Besides, he was one of the few who were opposed to passing the crown to the eldest son, advocating handing over to the wisest one.""In the year when the Deceased Emperor was terminally ill, His Majesty was only seventeen years old, and Father-in-law was only fifteen. Therefore, the Deceased Emperor had asked my late father to take charge of those things he left for Father-in-law.""My late father did not dare to slack off since he was in great trust for the Deceased Emperor.""After the Deceased Emperor's death, His Majesty ascended the throne, and Mr. Huan is in power, elbowing aside my late father. However, my late father still made every effort to support and educate Father-in-law."
After Yuan Liuguang had left, Rong Shuihe looked at the sky and then said to Yishan, who was serving the tea on his side, "The city gate is close now. We cannot go out. So, we just stay here tonight and go to the park early tomorrow morning."Yishan responded and gave the order to the people outside. Then, she came back and smiled with a bow, "Chief, congratulations! You get a helpful assistant!""It's too early to say that." Rong Shuihe also smiled and said, "Previously, the Gaomi King Family sent someone to the Nanfeng County to check my background, so they came to know my connection with the Daimao Island. Later, they might consider that Princess Gaomi had been confined to bed for too many years and could not bear such news. Besides, the Meng Family attacked the Gaomi King Family by racking up their past. Therefore, they just omitted this part, only saying that I was kept in the remote manor by the Sheng Family.""Thus, Princess Gaomi
Rong Shuihe was seriously assigning tasks to his subordinates, while in Gaomi King Mansion, Princess Gaomi was freaking out, "B*st*rd! B*st*rd! B*st*rd! You b*st*rd!"Xiangji Hall was in an extreme mess, with all the decorative pieces, in gold, in jade, in ivory, and in crystal being knocked onto the ground.All the servants had backed away except Nanny Zhao.The Rong Qingzhuo couple consoled her sobbingly on their knees, "Mother, take care of your health!""Your hiding these things from me won't do any good to my health to begin with!" With a tear-stained face, Princess Gaomi flung out a gold plate inlaid with turtle shell and shrieked, "You want me to die as soon as possible, don't you?!!"The plate passed over the Rong Qingzhuo couple's heads and thudded on Gaomi King's body.Gaomi King managed to keep his balance after some wobbles. He let out a sigh and uttered feebly, "Mixue, I concealed our s
The Grand Princess Wuyang was exactly the one who had suggested that Li Shengxu escorted Sheng Weiqiao to the south.She didn't bring it up on a whim for sure. After escaping from Sheng Weiqiao’s beat, Li Shengxu bumped into his mother's man, who had been sent to look for him. Then he was unavoidably asked about the cause of his unusual disheveled look.Li Shengxu chased him away lest the truth behind would worry his mother, but his words didn't have much authority despite his title of Marquis, given that he had been in recuperation in the past years.As a result, the servant reported what he had seen immediately to the Grand Princess Wuyang despite his menace.The Grand Princess Wuyang was worried indeed. Empress Dowager, who had been in her company at that time, said after learning the news, "We shall summon him here and get to the bottom of this... I hope that he wasn't bullied by someone..."Li Shengxu could
Rong Shuihe wasn't surprised that Huan Yehe came to him late in the night, but he was discontented when noticing Sheng Weiqiao being in her company. He said disapprovingly to Huan Yehe, "Must you drag sweetie into this? It's late already. You could have come alone."Huan Yehe responded wearing a dismal face, "I wouldn't have disturbed Princess Kangzhao if I had learned your whereabouts!"Sheng Weiqiao had to conciliate between the two provocative people, "Left General Weiwei's execution appears to be the imperative here. Let's get straight to the point!""I don't know anyone from Left Weiwei Troop or Right Weiwei Troop. Their lives have nothing to do with me." Rong Shuihe said nonchalantly and then turned to address Yishan, "Tell the cooks to prepare some refreshments that sweetie favors. I suppose she's still hungry despite having had dinner back in Shanglin Palace. The whole day was eventful."Huan Yehe fumed, "Left Genera
Rong Shuihe heaved a sigh of relief and smiled, "I won't tell the truth if the question is asked by someone else. But you're different, sweetie. I can't gain many connections in Chang'an in a short time. As a result, Jing Shu Princess is the source of most of my information. I didn't know about his association with the Family for sure!""So, you were intended to scheme against an innocent person at the beginning?" Sheng Weiqiao furrowed her brows and weighed her words, "I'm grateful that you revenged me on Noble Consort Shu, but everyone's life is precious...""Sweetie, do you think I meant to kill Left General Weiwei?" Rong Shuihe was aware that a pampered girl like Sheng Weiqiao couldn't bring herself to slight people's lives as he did despite her being tolerant of a measure of dark deeds and being flexible about the adhesion to morality.He explained immediately, "I will manage to save him even if Jing Shu Princess didn't pay me a vis
